What a fantastic video!! I've actually had to decant juice from minis in the past and find that a small syringe works well extended with the extra tube that you get from a bottle of WD40. Just cut a clean one down to size (a diagonal cut) so that you don't tip the mini bottle over with a long tube. Incidentally, the same tube also fits many small atomizers like the ones from Sephora, just in case you need a longer tube for some reason. Cheers Tara!

@jkbsdasf 2 жыл бұрын

I disagree. Wipe the threads after filling to insure the Teflon tape isn’t wet. ALSO! When wrapping the tape around the threads wrap in the opposite direction which your demonstrate. Clock-wise, so when you screw the atomizer it doesn’t unwrap.

@bobbyroush3511 3 жыл бұрын

Excellent video!! Definitely going to try that Teflon tape. You mentioned that there still will be some evaporation even with the tape. I want my collection of decants to last for years so do you think doing Teflon tape on the threads like you did AND parafilm on the outside of the bottle (where the glass bottle meets the cap) will prevent evaporation? That’s what I do, hoping it’s worth the effort.

@Olfactofiles 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much, Bobby! Yes, I think with the addition of parafilm you should be in good shape. Keep the lids on as well if they have lids. I also know some people who store them in ziploc bags to remove as much air exposure as possible, but I don't do that as I think I would forget about them. Lol.

If it is possible and you buy a bottle of perfume that you never tried and do not know how it is suppose to smell on eBay, anybody can fill it with any kind of perfume, wouldn't you agree? Thank you for the great tips.

@Olfactofiles 3 жыл бұрын

Only if it's a refillable bottle like the Kilians. If it isn't you can't put it back in, but I would be very hesitant to buy bottles that are refillable second hand because of this. I only buy Kilian brand new from reputable sellers for that very reason. Great question!

Let's say you want to put the perfume from the syringe back into the original bottle, how would you do that? I just bought a bottle of Narisco Rodriguez for him on ebay, the guy said it was 80% full but when I received it, I have no clue how much is in there because its opaque/ foil lined. Flashlight against the bottle doesn't work, can't hear sloshing around to get any idea. I even tried freezing it for a bit and then look for a condensation line but that also did not work. So I thought why not extract it/ measure the contents via the syringe, and then put it back into there once I confirm how much has been taken out. Do you know of a way to do that?
